Patch series "Allow to kexec with initramfs larger than 2G", v2.
Currently, the largest initramfs that is supported by kexec_file_load()
syscall is 2G.
This is because kernel_read_file() returns int, and is limited to INT_MAX
or 2G.
On the other hand, there are kexec based boot loaders (i.e. u-root), that
may need to boot netboot images that might be larger than 2G.
The first patch changes the return type from int to ssize_t in
kernel_read_file* functions.
The second patch increases the maximum initramfs file size to 4G.
Tested: verified that can kexec_file_load() works with 4G initramfs
on x86_64.
This patch (of 2):
Currently, the maximum file size that is supported is 2G. This may be too
small in some cases. For example, kexec_file_load() system call loads
initramfs. In some netboot cases initramfs can be rather large.
Allow to use up-to ssize_t bytes. The callers still can limit the maximum
file size via buf_size.

If we open a file without read access and then pass the fd to a syscall
whose implementation calls kernel_read_file_from_fd(), we get a warning
from __kernel_read():
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!(file->f_mode & FMODE_READ)))
This currently affects both finit_module() and kexec_file_load(), but it
could affect other syscalls in the future.

To perform partial reads, callers of kernel_read_file*() must have a
non-NULL file_size argument and a preallocated buffer. The new "offset"
argument can then be used to seek to specific locations in the file to
fill the buffer to, at most, "buf_size" per call.
Where possible, the LSM hooks can report whether a full file has been
read or not so that the contents can be reasoned about.

As with the kernel_load_data LSM hook, add a "contents" flag to the
kernel_read_file LSM hook that indicates whether the LSM can expect
a matching call to the kernel_post_read_file LSM hook with the full
contents of the file. With the coming addition of partial file read
support for kernel_read_file*() API, the LSM will no longer be able
to always see the entire contents of a file during the read calls.
For cases where the LSM must read examine the complete file contents,
it will need to do so on its own every time the kernel_read_file
hook is called with contents=false (or reject such cases). Adjust all
existing LSMs to retain existing behavior.

In preparation for adding partial read support, add an optional output
argument to kernel_read_file*() that reports the file size so callers
can reason more easily about their reading progress.

In preparation for further refactoring of kernel_read_file*(), rename
the "max_size" argument to the more accurate "buf_size", and correct
its type to size_t. Add kerndoc to explain the specifics of how the
arguments will be used. Note that with buf_size now size_t, it can no
longer be negative (and was never called with a negative value). Adjust
callers to use it as a "maximum size" when *buf is NULL.

In preparation for refactoring kernel_read_file*(), remove the redundant
"size" argument which is not needed: it can be included in the return
code, with callers adjusted. (VFS reads already cannot be larger than
INT_MAX.)
